Imperial Demon Slayer Division

The disciples in the third prince Qin Xiao's study, as well as the ministers who were originally under the eldest prince and later joined the third prince's sect, also had extremely angry eyes.

"Your Highness, do you think it was the fifth prince and the others who did it?"

The third prince received an excellent education since he was a child, and he was like a dragon or a phoenix among people. After a brief period of anger, he quickly regained his composure.

After sitting back on the front seat, the third prince closed his eyes and carefully analyzed the current situation.

After a while, the third prince slowly opened his eyes and said in a deep voice

"It can't be Fifth Brother and the others, they don't have the ability."

"Second brother must have done this. He is the only one who can find so many powerful people, and he is the only one who can make this rumor spread throughout the city overnight."

"If my fourth brother and I fall, he will be the one to benefit the most, and no one will be able to compete with him for the throne."

After the second prince finished speaking, the guests and ministers in the study all nodded in agreement with his analysis.

At this time, a doorman suddenly walked in from outside and said

"Your Highness, there is another rumor outside, saying that the second prince invited people from the Su family in Huaizhou to come to the imperial capital to help out, and someone saw the sword fairy Su Zhaoyue in the imperial capital."

"what?!"

After hearing this, Qin Xiaoteng stood up and said with disbelief.

"Isn't it my second brother who secretly carried out such a dirty trick?"

"But Lao Wu and the others don't have this strength? Who could it be?"

The doorman who just walked in said tentatively

"Your Highness, could it be the Ninth Prince who never showed up?"

When Yang Jia, the official in the room, heard what the guest said, he slowly shook his head and said

"It can't be the Ninth Prince. Although he was the biggest threat originally, Master Gu has been transferred to the southern border by His Majesty and is responsible for wiping out the Alliance of Gods. As a result, there is no one behind the Ninth Prince, let alone finding so many strong men. I can’t even spread rumors anymore.”

The doorman always felt that something was a little strange, so he asked again

"Is it possible that it was arranged by the Ninth Prince's teacher, Lord Gu?"

"Master Gu has led his army to the South China Sea Islands. Where can he find the time to deploy these means?"

"Could it be that he was in advance..."

"Okay, now"

After Yang Jia finished speaking, the second prince nodded slightly and said

"Indeed, on the day his father died, Xiao Jiu's eyes were full of deathly gray. He was completely different from his usual smart and smart appearance. He only kept his head down and cried. He probably had given up his ambition to fight for the throne."

"I estimate that this matter was done jointly by the fifth brother, the sixth brother, the seventh brother, and the eighth brother. Facing the powerful second brother, me, and the fourth brother, they decided to hug each other for warmth, otherwise they would not be able to fight with them. We fight"

Yang Jia, a member of the civil service department, cupped his fists at the second prince and said

"Your Highness's Ming Jian"

"Your Highness, in your opinion, should we take some countermeasures?"

Qin Xiao nodded and said with a gloomy face.

"Of course, I am not a soft persimmon, how can I let them manipulate me?"

"How could it be that the years I spent studying more than them were in vain?"

……

In the past few days, in the imperial capital, on the surface, the whole city is covered with white silk ribbons and the city is crying, but in fact, there is an undercurrent and full of murderous intent.

Several princes secretly kept trying to show off their tricks, and used all the methods they could use on their brothers.

Five days later, all the princes, ministers, and concubines in the harem, all dressed in white mourning clothes, knelt outside the Fengtian Hall to see Emperor Qin off.

The seven princes had completely lost their skin in the past few days, and they were about to fight with real swords and guns. Only the ninth prince knelt there and kept wiping his tears.

When King Taishan in the palace glanced at the seven emperors and grandsons, a strong look of dissatisfaction flashed in his eyes.

Before Emperor Qin was buried, these seven brothers began to fight endlessly.

When his eyes fell on the Ninth Prince, King Taishan nodded happily and thought to himself

"Your Majesty has good taste."

At this time, a tall young man wearing a smoky black official uniform and a demon-slaying knife suddenly appeared outside the hall.

The man's official uniform is embroidered with patterns sewn with gold thread. It is gorgeous and at the same time shows his noble aura.

The expressions on the faces of the eight princes were particularly complicated after seeing that man.

There are surprises, doubts, and resentments. They are simply more exciting than the dyes in the dyeing vat of the cloth workshop.

King Taishan nodded to Gu Yan and said softly

"Your Majesty is inside"

Gu Yan hummed, strode into Fengtian Hall, stopped in front of the coffin carved from Kunlun sacred wood, held his fists in front of the coffin and saluted, and said

"Your Majesty, Wei Chen has led the powerful men of the Yezhou Demon Slayer Division and the Yezhou Navy to wipe out the islands in the South China Sea and killed Cang Zhen, the leader of the Poseidon Alliance. The enemy troops on the islands were also tricked and killed by Wei Chen. The islands in the South China Sea have been included in the territory of our Da Qin. From now on, there will no longer be an enemy in the south of Da Qin."

"Your Majesty, go with peace of mind. Jing'er's path has been paved by Wei Chen."

After Gu Yan finished speaking, he stood beside King Taishan.

At this time, officials from the Ministry of Rites walked to the entrance of Fengtian Hall and said loudly to the ministers outside the hall.

"The funeral begins!"

The eighty-six imperial guards outside Fengtian Palace quickly walked into the palace, steadily lifted the huge coffin, and then walked towards the direction of the imperial mausoleum.

The reason why there are eighty-six forbidden troops is because Emperor Qin died at the age of eighty-six.

The civil and military ministers of the DPRK, the princes and concubines, etc., all followed the team and burst into tears.

At the front of the team, people from the Ministry of Etiquette were throwing white paper money.

At the back of the team is the fifth legion that has just changed defenses and returned to the Imperial Capital.

The soldiers of the Fifth Army Corps followed closely behind carrying many large black flags.

These flags were the battle flags used when Emperor Qin ordered the Demon Slayer Division to march westward and fight to the death with the Yaoxie clan. They are now taken out to commemorate Emperor Qin’s contribution to the Qin Dynasty during his reign.

After the team walked out of the palace, they walked along the Central Avenue outside the city.

At this time, the streets were filled with people kneeling in white mourning clothes, all crying and shouting for Your Majesty.

The Ministry of Rites did not organize people to come out to see him off. These people were all voluntary.

Although Emperor Qin was somewhat militaristic in his life, he did a lot of practical things for the people. The people were grateful to him from the bottom of their hearts, so they spontaneously came to see him off.

The team marched on foot, and the palace was quite far away from the imperial mausoleum, so it was not until Shenshi arrived outside the imperial mausoleum.

At this time, the Ministry of Household Affairs has sent all the burial objects to the emperor's mausoleum, and all the organs and formations have been prepared, waiting for Emperor Qin to enter the mausoleum.

……

After three and a half hours of complicated etiquette, this grand funeral finally came to an end.

Early the next morning, King Taishan summoned his ministers to the Hall of Supreme Harmony to discuss the matter of becoming the next Emperor of Qin.

The eight princes stood in the Hall of Supreme Harmony, with different expressions on their faces. Only the second prince looked relaxed.

The third prince and the fourth prince looked gloomy. The ninth prince's eyes were still a little red, and there was no change in his expression.

The other four princes looked a little flustered. It was obvious that they had fallen into a disadvantage in the past few days of overt and covert fighting.

The second prince glanced at his seven younger brothers, his eyes filled with indescribable joy.

After creating rumors for Lao San and Lao Si that day, Zhang Xiao suddenly suggested that he add a rumor to himself. In this way, he could use Lao San and Lao Si as a sword to eliminate his four younger brothers first.
